Starting a chess game with 1 e4 e5 is so common that the resulting
complex of opening systems traditionally commands its own
sobriquet, "The Open Games" (1 e4 met by other replies are
"Semi-Open Games" and everything else comes under "Closed Games").
The central structure with pawns on e4 and e5 often leads to play
based around highly classical themes which are the bedrock of
successful chess understanding. ----- First Steps is a new opening
series and is ideal for improving players who want simple and
straightforward explanations. First Steps emphasizes: ----- * the
basic principles --- * the basic strategies --- * the key tricks
and traps ----- First Steps books are based around carefully
selected instructive games which demonstrate exactly what both
sides are trying to achieve. There is enough theory to enable the
improving player to get to grips with the opening without feeling
overwhelmed. If you want to take up a new opening, First Steps is
the ideal place to start.
